It’s worth remembering that in the span of like four or five weeks, Horizon: Zero Dawn, ME: Andromeda, Breath of the Wild, and Persona 5 all released that year, and part of what sank Andromeda was the availability of excellent, recently released, open-world action/rpgs that critics and gamers could easily compare it…

Haven’t you heard? Biden wants to be a bridge to a new generation of leaders like Buttigieg; Mayo Pete is the future of the party. Embrace the bland!

Yeah, was gonna buy it, now will probably wait for the inevitable PS5 remaster to get a serious sale or just forget about it and maybe check it out years down the line. Not because of spoilers, but because it doesn’t sound like what I was hoping for out of a sequel. Besides, with sales, limited time, and a couple…

Aww, this reminded me of Max in bear mode and Mary Tyler Moore Tyler Moore Moore Moore.

Those are fair points, but here’s where I’m having trouble and what prompted my first response, if you want to make a psychological argument based on weapon appearance then does it matter if you’re limiting it to Canada? Military-style rifles are much more popular in the U.S. and there are also unfortunately more mass…

I think that in most cases where a person decides to turn a firearm into a murder weapon, it’s the symbolic and not the utilitarian that determines what kind of gun they choose.

If you want people to vote for your candidate have that candidate offer them things they actually want. Sanders voters have been pretty clear that they want fundamental economic reform and establishment Democrats have been playing the “but Trump is evil and think of the Supreme Court” argument as a response while…

Really? Seems like enough of them showed up to vote for Trump over Clinton, or Green party over Clinton, isn’t that what the last four years of moderate Democratic whinging has been about? So rather than putting in the effort to shame people into voting for the candidate, why not actually get the candidate to court…

This “no time to throw a fit because your candidate didn’t win” narrative is so strange. Here’s a thought, every presidential election season that I can remember Democratic pundits and strategists talk about courting independents and moderates. They’re perfectly comfortable playing the transactional game over the…

That’s a fantasy. It only cost Sanders political capital because he was unwilling to wield any power he might have in a way that would hurt centrist democrats and force them into adopting some of his positions. That was as true six weeks ago as it is now.

Sounds like something a buku blubber butt with enough cash might say, you with your hoity-toity foreign language skills.

In the Allen case they ruled that the wrong causal standard was used and remanded to determine whether Allen’s case could establish but-for causation. They didn’t rule on the process versus outcome distinction because it wasn’t at issue.

The Allen case has to do with causation, the Babb’s case has to do with the distinction between discriminatory outcome and process, as far as I can tell the reasoning is about the same in both. The Allen case is basically the court fully abandoning mixed motive causation in favor of a but-for test, the court doesn’t…

Thank you for replying, and I get the parsing, it’s useful for longer comments.

I have to ask, who is actually doing the gas lighting here?

I think Sasquatch’s point was more about the styling, going off of the OP’s criticism of the transition from the 6 to the 8 in the looks department and how the original 8 series was more visually distinct. 

House Democrats ended up with a bill that would’ve offered $1500, but would’ve required anyone making more than $75000 or jointly making $150000 to at least pay part of it back within 3 years. The bill has a similar unemployment insurance expansion, greatly expands emergency aid for federal agencies, offers more…

If we’re going to start about lies of omission:

Except in a world where precisely zero countries with functioning economies(prior to the pandemic) feature governments that own most of the housing stock and people want to live in high demand cities, then having people with capital buy and rent large buildings is ... kind of essential to workers having any chance at…

If you’re expecting structural change or a pathway to fundamental change, then you should look to whoever’s running in 2024, because Biden is the Obama nostalgia, vote blue no matter who candidate.
